  Congratulations on the catch on 10.  When I was on nothing was to be heard at my location.  I think it is great to get your daughter involved Way to Go.

      Gang, 
       I had the rig on the VP6DX 10 meter SSB freq all day today.  Waiting for 10 to open up.  When he did creep up out the noise to a 5x9, I worked him.  Then I worked him for our local club (w8sp) and then it dawned on me:  my daughter (KD8EBJ), who is a tech class, can also work them.  So I ran upstairs and told her they were in her portion of the band and workable.  After several calls, she finally worked them too.  I hope that contact helps to light a fire under her, to get her general now. She's had fun on 6 meters but I told her that VP6DX was a REAL DX catch.  She was delighted.
   
  I should have realized last week that there was the possibility of her being able to work them.  The little light in my head didn't go on until almost too late.
